celandine on a blue plate - handknitting & inkjet print

'Spring comes to Shap'  14 - 28 March 2021

In response to a commission from the local arts organisation 'Highlights' and Eden District Council, I have made a series of images to celebrate the themes of rebirth and growth, which depend on the miracle of natural light returning to our northern town and the surrounding fells.

The images are digital collages, involving combinations of paintings, photographs and text. They will be printed and installed in three locations: outside the Old Courthouse, on the Churchyard Gates and along the fence of Rose Bank opposite the Hermitage Guest House. I hope people will enjoy coming across them as they walk around the town.
